Tinker Field Research Grants are awarded to universities with Centers of Latin American Studies for the provision of travel grants to graduate students with little or no previous field experience so they can conduct pre-dissertation or thesis research in Latin America.

Funding Information

Two levels of support in the Field Research Grants competition are available – $10,000 and $15,000 per annum.
